W-W-W-WET BEAST WEDNESDAY Y’ALL!
Bug of the Day
Two longhorned beetles in one night, at opposite ends of the spectrum. On the left, we have the teeny, tiny, Eupogonius tomentosus. No common name, and a really bad haircut ;-). On the right, we have the brown Prionid, Orthosoma brunneum, one of the biggest beetles you will ever see in my part of the world.
For scale, the Eupogonius is resting on a single "wave" of the shingle, while the brown Prionid takes up more than 13 of them (including its antennae).
Bug of the Day
Peek-a-boo!
(note to self: check shingles on shed for signs of warping :-))
